Proceedings of the first ArCo Conference

The Artistic goods represent a priceless asset of our cultural patrimony since they play a crucial role in defining and understanding the identity of communities. Nevertheless, they are not always adequately protected against possible dangers and hazards or the effects of time. In these last decades, the new technologies - such as the digital control, the 3D reconstructions etc. - have experienced great developments even in their application to the art collections, increasing the monitoring activities, the safety checking, and their interface with the community. The ARCO 2020 Conference collected contributions from different areas for the preservation, the enhancement, and the protection of the art goods exhibited in the Museums. This volume collects the proceeding of the sessions about Design and Museum Design, Digital Heritage, Historical Research and Posters of the ARCO 2020 international conference which took place on 21-23 September 2020 in Florence, Italy, at the Dipartimento di Architettura (DiDA).
